SPORTS Venzke Carries SO0 METER RACE 15 STAR-STUDDED America’s Group of Brilliant Milers Has Larva and Thomas to Fear. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, May 28.—Amer- ica has not captured the classic 1,500-meter Olympic gold medal in 24 years and may need the “breaks” to do so this year, despite the fact this country has the greatest crop of milers since the 1912 games. Few Olympic events have sparkled with any greater names or perform- ances than the 1500. The battle at Los Angeles should be no exception, ven though the peerless Paavo Nurmi no longer can run with the best at this distance and France’s world record- smasher, Jules Ladoumegue, is lost to the competition.

AUNTON, Devonshire, England, May 28.—The second 18 holes of the 36-hole qualifying round of the British women’s golf cham- plonship began today in a steady downpour and under mserable plny-i ing conditions. | Mists blowing in from the sea and low-hanging clouds hid the surround- ing hills and almost touched the range of mountainous sand dunes between the Saunton links and the beach. Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare of Phila- delphia, first American out this morn- ing, and others in the big fleld pre- pared for the ordeal with oilskins, changes of clothes and shoes and towels for wiping club shafts. nder the prevailing conditions the qualifying limit was likely to be raised a half dozen strokes. Some experts thought even a 36-hole total of 190 would qualify for the first round of match play Monday. Two of the lesser members of the American contingent of 12 scratched today, Virginia Holzderber of Balti- more, and Mrs. William Ferris of New- ton, Mass. Both used up far too many strokes in the opening round yesterday to have much chance of qualifying, Mrs. Ferris & 96 and Miss Holzderber 102. OST of the other 10 Americans, AUSTRALIA'S BACK U. S. Wins One Singles, Near Victory in Another as Rain Halts Play. BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Sports Writer. HILADELPHIA, May 28.—Aus- tralia, once the home of tennis champions, faced a hard, up-hill fight today to wrest North American zone Davis Cup honors from the United States. Already defeated in one singles en- counter and barely hanging on in another halted by yesterday’s rain, the men from down under faced the pos- sible necessity of having to win today’s doubles match and both of the remain- ing singles bouts Monday if they were to _escape elimination. Frank Shields gave Uncle Sam a victory in the opening singles | tilt by overwhelming diminutive Harry Hopman, Australia’s No. 2, by scores of 6—4, 6—1, 6—2. LLSWORTH VINES tore into Jack Crawford, of the Antipodes, and was leading two | sets to one when a Spring rainstorm halted play after the internussion. Vines ran off the first two sets, ) 645 Crawford the third, 6—2, and they were locked in a 3—3 tie when officials waved them off the court. ‘The first business on today’s program was the conclusion of their match, start- ing where play was suspended. They were to take the court at 1:30 p.m. (Eastern standard time) with an exhi- bition doubles match to intervene be- fore the Davis Cup doubles. N the strength of their showing in singles yesterday, Crawford and Hopman Were not seen as a serious menace to Johnny Van Ryn and Wil- mer Allison, America’s stellar twosome. After all the things that had been written about him, Crawford's play was something of a disappointment, espe- cially in the opening sets. He didn't look like the champion he is until the third set, when he made a visible ef- fort to rally, and was rewarded by a | letdown on Vines’ part. The Australian was bringing frequent applause from | the gallery toward the close. | SEVEN GRID TILTS LISTED 150 RUNNERS AWAIT ~| TOWALLINNET TIEIGUN IN MARATHON Eastern Shore Race Winner Will Qualify for U.

All are seniors and outstanding per- formers. | Golf Analyzed || BY JOE GLASS Too often a player's efforts to preserve balance in the golf pivot tightens the muscles and brings body rigidity. This makes a good pivot impos- ble. On the backswing the body oes not turn fully enough and the arms are left to carry the club to the top of the swing without assist- ance. At the top, the left arm, instead of remaining extended, as it should, breaks badly, and both hands come in too close to the head. The downswing and the swing through the ball become almost WITH BOPY altogether an arm action. The swing is shortened, the face of the - club cuts across the ball and a slice results. Before starting the swing, be sure to relax. Practice so that the left knee will give in toward the right knee naturally and easily, like that of Harry Cooper, in the sketch. This will permit & full pivot. ‘The pivot iis the least understood Rase in golf instruction.
